....Is in the works for Northern Wisconsin.
Ok so it is May 10th...which is well into what we here in Wisconsin call Spring.
But according to the weather service here in wisconsin, the following is about to descend upon my neighbors to the north later this evening...
Winter storm forecast for state
The tulip blossoms may be doomed.
Winter is threatening a brief return to northern Wisconsin in the form of snow, strong winds and temperatures in the 20s, all forecast to hit late tonight and linger through Thursday.
Even areas around Milwaukee could have snow mixed with rain."This could be a memorable event given the strength of the system at this time of year," say forecasters with the National Weather Service in Green Bay.
Meteorologists there have issued a winter storm watch for Vilas, Oneida, Florence and Forest counties, in effect from Thursday morning through Thursday night.The storm moving toward the Great Lakes is projected to bring strong winds and up to 2 inches of rain to Milwaukee and southeast Wisconsin.
The weather service has issued a wind advisory for later tonight and Thursday.
There is some precedent for this type of mid-May blast of winter.
On May 10, 1990, six to 20 inches of snow fell in parts of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan.
